We paid this to the builder as part of our costings but are wondering 1) who repairs the path/kerb? -ie builder or us 2) do we get the deposit back if the builder repairs it? 3) if the builde...

Hi there we were just wondering where other builders keep the house keys during the construction process? Ours keeps ours in the metre box. They say these are the "builders keys". When it went missing, the supervisor said not to worry as we we get an 'owner key" which once used makes ...
